be comfortable for some stu
dents to lean against the library
walls and prop up their feet
against the plaster, leaving heel
prints upon the white expanse.
One of the greatest sources of
damage to the floors is the inclination-
on the part of a num
ber of students to grind out
cigarette butts on them. When
ever a cigarette butt is careless
ly tossed upon the floor it leaves
a brown stain. Sand jars have
been placed in the main entry
for the depositing of lighted
cigarettes inadvertently brought
into the building,, but some stu
dents do not seem to realize
their purpose.
AllDf the state institutions
are handicapped by inadequate
budgets because of business con
ditions. University authorities
have been forced to practice
rigid economy, this economy is
reflected in the janatorial
force, which is inadequate for
proper care of the library. Un
der these conditions, careless de
facing of the library is. almost
criminal negligence. A little
thoughtful consideration will
convince any student that he
should safeguard the interests
of himself and all other Univer
some adequate excuse for doing
so. An adequate excuse is one
over which modern University
students can get excited. It can
scarcely be said to be founded
on the activities and fads of our
grandfathers and grandmothers.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
People get from life what they ex
pect to get, nothing more nor less.
Eleanor Mercein.
Almost Criminal
Negligence
In the Readers' Opinions col
umn of this issue appears a
communication from the assis
tant librarian of the University
protesting against abuses of the
new library building by thought
less students. He reports that
some students, probably no more
than a small percentage of the
student body, are defacing the
building.
The libraryplant is one of the
finest public structures in . the
state. Indeed, there are many
who believe that the new Uni
versity library building com
bines beauty and utility to a
greater extent than .. any other
public building in North Caro
lina. It is unfortunate that a
few students should . thought
lessly diminish the attractive
ness of one of the University's
most valuable possessions.
It is essential that the li
brary provide pleasant and ap
propriate surroundings for
study. Excellent facilities for
research and study are now
available at the library, but the
building itself must be main
tained in the best of condition
if an atmosphere conducive to
close application is to prevail.
At present the library build
ung is being defaced in a variety
of ways. Ink is carelessly
spilled from fountain pens on
the floors ; even the marble
pavement of the main entrance
hall and the pillars are not im
mune from this treatment. Stu
dents are inclined to display
their exuberance of physical en
ergy in peculiar ways, but skat
ing on marble floors is more de
structive than enjoyable. An in
delible record of the spofrting
proclivities of Carolina's most ir
: repressible is contained in a se
ries of unsightly scratches on
the library floors.
On Outgrowing
Things
Youngsters outgrow their lit
tle Lord Fauntleroy suits and
long curls and at a prescribed
time they don their first pair of
long trousers and decorate their
upper lip with what might seem
to be an erstwhile curl. That
is an example of individual pro
gression. Also, we find big sis
ter discarding an article of
clothing absolutely devoid of
tears, stains or rips and for such
an impractical reason as that of
changing styles. That can be
classified as mass progression.
But, regardless of what one
terms the trend of the day or
the influence of change, it is a
tendency which can no more be
controlled than (to use a popular
example) a well-organized and
air-tight campus political frame-
up. Times will change, clothes
and organizations will grow old
or out of date and interest in
said articles and obsessions will
fade. Much has been said of
the glamour of the past but that
glamour assumes a jaded and
dull mantle in the face of the
startling qualities and popular
! ity of the "latest wrinkle."
gloves from the pocket of the
coat carefully locked up and
calls down maledictions on the
rascal. In taking this means of
posting his notice, however, he
is incapacitating one coat-hook
until he returns the key. The
library would rather give him a
thumb-tack. It is perhaps worse
than useless to suggest that the
gloves might have been locked
up with the coat, but somebody

JITNEY PLAYERS
WILL PERFORM
HERE MONDAY
(Continued from first page)
During the past seasonin ad
dition to playing leads with the
Jitney Players, he appeared in
the New York cast of Barrie's
famous play, "What Every
Woman Knows."
David Elliott, talented actor,
will play the part of Lord Fop
pington in the production. Mr.
Elliott has been acclaimed by
dramatic critics over the coun
try as a remarkable actor.
The play was presented last
Thursday in Richmond. The
critic of the Richmond Times
Dispatch says of the presenta
tion : "Of the performance, in
entirety it is on par, with a first
grade stock company with two
notable exceptions. David Elliott
and Ada Caf agna . . . come close
to walking off with the show.
Mr. Elliott, in truth, wouldn't
. ...
look at all bad in the troupe of
Mrs. Fiske. He plays with a
nicety of poise and a delicacy of
characterization that will make
his 'Lord Foppington' a fellow
to be remembered."
The Jitney Players were or
ganized seven years ago, travel
ing about the northern summer
resorts by truck. Now the com
pany is permanently established
and during the " winter seasons
appears in auditoriums.
The staging of the productions
is patterned after the manner of
the originals. Even the songs
of the original are given with
accompaniment on an instru
ment that resembles a harpsi
chord. " ,
The group will also present
"The Wonder," a comedy by
Suzanne Centlivre, first pro
duced at the Drury Lane theatre
in London in 1714. This play is
supposed to have added to David
Garrick's reputation when he re
vived it almost half a century
later.
FRESHMAN CHAPEL HELD
FIRST TIME OF QUARTER
The first meeting of chai
for the spring quarter was helfr

announcement of the chape
schedule, for this quarter were
made. Arrangements have been
made to seat the entire class in
one meeting, and seat assign

every one. The large number
who have found the seating ar
rangement confusing should re

Chapel will meet this quarter
on Monday of each week. There

The recent agitation and
speech -making concerning the
"revitalization" of the Di Sen
ate is an example of misplaced
value in college activity. .The
best excuse for the ref ostering
of the organization,as presented
in the President's speech not
long ago, is the fact of its age,
its former members and its past
prestige. Debating and the for
warding of the practice is its on
ly claim to existence today.
While debating is not by any
manner of means obsolete today,
it certainly does not enjoy the
popularity it enjoyed at the
time of the organization of the
Di Senate. If the Senate really
thing is surely going to be criti
cized, vilified, and misunder
stood. Help us to see that this
is part of the penalty for great
ness, every great man under
standing it and understanding
too, that it is no proof of great
ness. Help us also to realize, U
God, that the final proof of
greatness lies in being able to
endure contumely to the end
without-resentment. This we
ask in Christ Jesus' name.
Amen.
